I don't generally write reviews but on this occasion I felt compelled because the review at "mike.boyce.161" appears to be so inaccurate.
The deck in my Pathfinder cratered after several years of service. I contacted my Nissan dealer and was quoted an approximate 400.00 charge for a trade/install of a reconditioned unit. Plus a two to three week wait. To their credit Nissan suggested I could do better with a local stereo dealer. I did an internet search and came across the "boyce" review. Almost crossed Sargent's off my list, but after checking with two other Bend dealers decided to be thorough and see for myself.

100% will be coming back for any future audio needs.

Read moreI have been to all the CO installers… and while Sargent’s does not look like much, their service and value is the absolute best. They were recommended to me years ago and I now recommend them all the time. They have done about 9 installs for me: Porsche, EV, trucks, cars… I trust them with anything… and they have installed CarPlay stereos, Bluetooth e stereos, backup cameras, and even a dash camera. My favorite was a big screen CarPlay stereo for my daughter’s car… it really gets noticed! I also really like the...
